Display Properties

This dialog is about settings to arrange displays and assign them to graphics outputs for multidisplay presentations. When you have created your project via the Wizard for Mixed Media Projects and have entered correct values for the displays, all settings should be as required. For differing requirements you will have to correct these values.

Size and position

 

VIOSO calibration via camera  ...must be enabled if you want to use a camera to calibrate displays and softedge masks. This function is only available in combination with a Wings VIOSO License.

If you want to stack several projectors and let Wings VIOSO do the alignment every display must have a Stacking index of 1 or higher. All displays or projectors showing the same aligned content must have identical stacking indexes. With an index of 0 stacking is disabled.

 

Left  Bottom  Width  Height

Defines the resolution of displays or projectors used and their position on the screen. Values can be entered in percent (top) or in pixels (bottom) depending on which one you prefer. Pixel values always refer to the activated screen reference size. At Left and Bottom you define the amount by which the display is to be displaced to the left or to the bottom.

 

Different physical resolution for presentation

If you enable Apply resolution you can enter a resolution that deviates from the display size (see above). The display data will be adjusted accordingly. This is an interesting feature for use of different types of displays. In this case, the display size refers only to the screen layout section while the resolution of media can be adjusted individually for the display.

Please note that the deviating resolution currently cannot be considered for creation of split videos.
